    Inconsistent Velocity Issue

    Hello everyone. Last weekend i tried to chrono my automag rt. I was shooting really high and then tuned it down to around 250. within a few shots i range from 190 to about 260 with out adjusting the marker. Mostly it shot +/- 25 fps. I tried using the gold spring instead of the red one, i had the same issue. I tried using a standard tank instead of a 950 psi tank with the same result. I made sure that the marker had oil in it. I am not sure what else to test. I am using a level 10

    Thanks

    My guess would be inconsistent paint size. Were you using crappy paint?

    My guess would be dirt and/or bad o-rings in the regulator part of the valve.

    Dirt is the biggest cause of problems in a mag or any regulator. A piece of dirt on the regulator piston assembly can cause wild velocity swings. Clean the valve assembly and all orings.
    Except for the Automag in front, its usually the man behind the equipment that counts.
